Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
DEFINE:What is mitosis
A
stage of the cell cycle during which the cell’s nucleus divides
B
first stage of the cell cycle
C
the process of replication
D
the final stage of the cell cycle
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Mitosis is a process of nuclear division in eukaryotic cells that occurs when a parent cell divides to produce two identical daughter cells. During cell division, mitosis refers specifically to the separation of the duplicated genetic material carried in the nucleus.

Detailed explanation-2: -The mitotic phase (M) includes both mitosis and cytokinesis. This is when the nucleus and then the cytoplasm divide.

Detailed explanation-3: -Mitosis is the process in which a eukaryotic cell nucleus splits in two, followed by division of the parent cell into two daughter cells.

Detailed explanation-4: -Mitosis is a process where a single cell divides into two identical daughter cells (cell division).

Detailed explanation-5: -A unique feature of the nucleus is that it disassembles and re-forms each time most cells divide. At the beginning of mitosis, the chromosomes condense, the nucleolus disappears, and the nuclear envelope breaks down, resulting in the release of most of the contents of the nucleus into the cytoplasm.
